Toronto band Goodnight, Sunrise have the sort of reverence for music itself that is rare, even among creators. Blending elements of classic rock and progressive rock — think early Heart mated with ZZ Top — their debut album Create/Destroy/Createis a song cycle more than a mere album. Moving in sonic waves and pulling on the themes within its moniker, the band has crafted a contemplative, soul-searching collection of songs that are still fun and fresh. Music to move to now and discuss in depth over 2am nachos at Sneaky Dee’s or your late-night eatery of choice.

I’ve previously mentioned their smashing tune “Love Fortress #9” on the show (the very first one, in fact), so here are three more reasons to grab this album on March 8th.

Paper Napkins: Grooving hooks drive this throwback to the funk-laced rock of the 70s. Easily imagined as a song for an afternoon driving through the sprawl, trying to make sense of what the hell the world is coming too. Deep yet not despairing; thoughtful yet all-out fun.

The Honeymoon Is Over: Anthem for the breaking up crowd, best served with shots and a few good friends to punctuate with “Yeah!” and a fist in the air. Sometimes, knowing when to leave a relationship is the hardest lesson to learn. There’s a little SoCal rock flavour here, reminiscent of The Eagles. I dig it.

The Machine: Heartbreaking in its honesty and hitting close to home, “The Machine” is one of the album’s emotionally layered pieces. Built with the progressive sensibility of the hat-tipped Pink Floyd circa Dark Side Of The Moon, it’s a testament to the isolation and oppression many can relate to, one way or another. Lyrically stunning.

Goodnight, Sunrise is throwing a CD release bash in Toronto on March 8th at the El Mocambo and you really should come along for the ride. Consider it a warm-up for Canadian Music Week, where you can also check out the band.
